The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 266 Britain Unwilling to Assimilate Other Nations
Of course, Yuri is very clear that the reason why the people of the Sauron Empire live better than the poor in London is not because the policies of the Sauron Empire are for the sake of the people, but because the industrial development has not reached the standard!

Moreover, the Sauron Empire has a vast territory and few people, and is rich in products. Food does not need to be imported, and the price of food is very low.

On the other hand, the mainland of the British Empire is densely populated and factories are dense. After the serf system was abolished, the quality of life of ordinary people at the bottom did not increase but declined.

There is no other reason. When they were serfs, the feudal lords regarded them as private property and would not let serfs starve to death easily.

But after serfs became free people, there was no feudal lord in charge of food and housing, and all living expenses had to be earned by themselves.

For capitalist factory owners, workers are just cheap labor, not their property. Naturally, they try to squeeze the surplus value of workers as much as possible, and keep workers' wages just at the edge of starvation.

As for the British bureaucrats, they have long been fed by capitalist factory owners, and many bureaucrats even have a share of dry stocks to enjoy dividends. Of course, they will not speak for the bottom workers...

Naturally, the life of civilians who changed from serfs to workers became more difficult. Many people were exhausted to death because of all kinds of labor that overwhelmed their lives before they could even live to be 30 years old.

This is also the reason why life expectancy is generally low in this era.

You know, it is normal for nobles and capitalists to live to the age of 60 or [-] in this era, because a systematic medical system has appeared in this era, and after-school therapy has long been abandoned, and serious medical researchers also Gained a high social status.

Even the European powers have a lot of financial support for medical research. After all, those in power are afraid of death. Of course, they hope that the medical level of their country will be as high as possible.

Of course, the level of medical care in this era has nothing to do with low-level civilians, because ordinary civilians simply cannot afford real doctors...

Even many civilians can only accept the bloodletting therapy that has become a quack practice...

After all, bloodletting therapy is relatively cheap, and a pair of scissors and a hemostatic cloth are enough.

"It's no wonder that revolutionary ideas spread so quickly among European countries. Among them, the yearning for human rights and freedom has a good reputation among most civilians. In such a repressive and difficult social environment, even the most ignorant people know this. Society is unhealthy!

They are eager to change, but they don't know how to change. At this time, revolutionary ideas are introduced, which can be said to be a guiding light...

It's a pity that the strength of the civilian class is too weak. Although they have a large number of people, they have no money and weapons. If there is no support from foreign forces, the civilian riots are nothing but a brush for the military, police and local governments...

However, it is easier to achieve revolution in the British mainland, which has been impacted by various revolutionary ideas, than the low-level Indians who are fooled by the caste system and the ignorant natives who cannot communicate with the Nanyang region.

The only problem is that Britain is too powerful in this world. Even the poor British people who eat black bread all day long have a sense of national honor.

Even though most people are dissatisfied with social life, there are not many civilians who really want to overthrow Queen Victoria. Many people vent their grievances on the British cabinet government...

The British cabinet is really a respectable backer! "

After living in London for a week, Yuri said with sincere emotion.

It’s not that Yuri, the revolutionary organization, didn’t find out. It’s not a secret. Any London citizen here knows that the Irish have always wanted independence, and the Scots have always been dissatisfied with the racial policies of the British government. There will be a street parade to show the presence...

However, among the three major nationalities, the only ones who really dared to take up armed uprisings were the Irish, and then they died miserably...

The Welsh organization is the most moderate. They have not even proposed an independent political idea, and even want to become a real English nation, that is, to strive for the same political status as the English...

This may seem very different. The Sauron Empire forced assimilation and fusion of other alien races. Why did the Welsh people cry and beg for assimilation when they came to England but failed?

The reason is simple, the British bourgeoisie is too greedy, the most important thing is that the British bourgeoisie also controls the British House of Commons, which has a lot of political influence!

In British law, there is a certain degree of protection for the civilians of the English nation, which means that the bourgeoisie cannot squeeze the English people to death.

But there is no such protection for the Welsh, Scots, and Irish. This is why many real black-hearted factories in the UK are all workers of these three major nationalities.

If these three nationalities are assimilated into Englishmen, wouldn't the capitalists lose a large number of people who can be squeezed without limit?

How much surplus value and profit is lost!
Therefore, in the British Parliament, representatives of the bourgeoisie resolutely disagree with the policy of great national integration, such as the theory of blood purity, national centripetal force, etc. There are countless reasons...

All in all, national assimilation will weaken the national power of the British Empire!

In Britain, although the capitalists are not united, the power of the bourgeoisie is strong enough to compete with the traditional aristocratic forces. Even the British royal family dare not offend easily, otherwise the British royal family will lose the support of a large group of capitalist-born royalists!
Even in the hands of the British royal family, there are many factory shares that enjoy dividends. If the profits of the capitalists are weakened, the "rebate" equivalent to the British royal family will also be reduced...

In this way, the United Kingdom clearly has the ability to assimilate the local ethnic groups, but it just doesn't do it!

However, in order to make it easier to manage, the British upper class also divided the various ethnic groups into different categories.

The Irish who made the most trouble were undoubtedly the lowest.

In the UK, the phrase 'you are Irish' actually means the same thing as calling you a son of a bitch...

Because of this, even if the British Empire is in full swing, there will still occasionally be an armed uprising by the Irish, and then they will be killed to the point of blood...

In addition, the Scots also have a tendency to be independent, but the Scots have split. Some Scots hope to become Englanders like the Welsh, while the other part of the Scots regard the Irish as their idols and advocate armed independence.

Obviously, the latter has very few supporters of the Scottish organization, or the supporters dare not expose it at all.

After all, compared to the island of Ireland, the Scottish region is closer to the mainland of England, so it is very convenient to suppress...
